If the woman asks for sole custody the man should provide money voluntarily, but should have visitation rights based on support and vice Versailles the man has sole custody.. I am totally against alimony in divorce cases. This might make couples think twice before divorce, or before getting married. I have seen women who marry because they want to stay home and not work, hence alimony. Same holds true for the man who wants to stay home, not work and expects alimony. Able bodied people should work regardless of sex, not plan on alimony. Likewise if a woman doesn’t want the father to interact with his children, no child support. Neither side should have their cake and eat it too. It is a complex issue. I understand if a spouse is an alcoholic or drug addict, pedophile, into illegal things then you don’t want interaction with the child, so then don’t expect financial support when he/she can’t have interaction with the child. Everything must be done with the benefit of the child in mind: custody, parental involvement, marriage, divorce.
